Recent graduates work in industry or pursue graduate degrees in computer science and related fields at programs including Stanford, Duke, and University of Maryland College Park. Students regularly compete in programming competitions and hack-a-thons, collaborate with faculty on research, and publish and present papers at international computer science conferences. Student organizations promoting diversity in computer science include FICSIT and D-Code.
